Final Justice

The beating was severe…but he survived because he had to know one thing: Was Wendy still alive?

Alex was in bad shape. Just this side of dead, lying in a dumpster, but he couldn’t give up. Crawling out of the garbage, the first thing he noticed, beyond the pain, was that Vee was gone. He had only one option – to keep going.

Out to the street he walked.

All around there was only the otherworldly destruction of burned-out cars, broken windows, and empty streets. Houston had fallen further into chaos, brimming with violence and a population at each other’s throats.

When Alex and Ranger find their old friends…they got a bit of news about Wendy.

And then he collapsed.

Wendy almost made it out, but the skinheads tracked her down, and now she was in a room, alone and sure of only one thing: They plan to sell her to Vargas. She can’t let that happen.

Will she get another chance to free herself?

Would she ever see Alex again?

Can Alex finally stop Vargas?

The fallout from the EMP and cyber-attack that crippled Texas has ravaged the rest of the country. Alex and Vee must stay on the move, but now they have some leverage. The files show all of Vargas businesses, and that gives them an edge.

There’s just one problem: The Accountant’s men are hot on their heels. 

Will their new friend, Darius, be the ally they need?

On a lonely road back to Houston, Wendy thinks she finally caught a break. She’s wrong. Out of fuel, but not out of ammo, she survives through grit, determination, and a little luck – but she’s not home free.

Houston is like a war zone. She’s going to need some help.

Between them and the Accountant…lies a gauntlet of roaming gangs.

How will they make it to Houston?

For Alex, he only has one move: Get the money from the Accountant and hope it’s enough to make things right with Vargas. There’s just one problem: The gangster’s men aren’t the only ones trying to kill him, Vee, and Ranger.

Texas has become a wasteland where everyone is willing to kill to survive.

Can Alex survive long enough to get to Wendy?

Wendy thought she was going to be fine, but then the car gave out, and now she’s on foot. Up ahead, in a remote spot, she saw a gas station. It didn’t look like anybody was around, but after what she’d already been through, she had to be cautious.

Was it worth the risk?

Should she just go around?

She needed supplies and made the decision to risk it. If it’s a mistake, it will likely be her last. When every step is a decision, one wrong move could be fatal.

Tied to a chair, tortured, and without hope…the revenge he planned would never come.

Was this how the apocalypse ended for Alex? 

He never should have been in this mess, but Trey crossed the wrong man. Now Mr. Jackson, the leader of the thugs sent to get blood from a stone, had plans to drag him into the forest and put a bullet in his head. Alex thought about his daughter. What would happen to her?

With each second that passed…the weight of the inevitable grew.

They couldn’t be reasoned with, so when there’s nothing to lose, one might as well go for a long shot. He attacked and caught Mr. Jackson’s men by surprise. If he was going to die, it would be this way, and not on his knees. 

Exhausted, bloodied, and very much alive, he bolted. 

Into the dense forest with one goal on his mind. 

Get to Houston and find the Accountant. It wouldn’t be easy, because he knew he’d be hunted every step of the way. If he could only get past the gangs, looting, and horrific chaos for long enough, he just might survive the end of the world.

When the lights when out….

…chaos took over.

Was this his chance?

Nobody was sure who took down the power grid in Texas, but from the moment it happened, Alex knew it was his chance to escape. Four months into a four-year sentence for armed robbery, Alex had barely survived Huntsville Prison. Worried about Wendy and desperate to make things right with Vargas, the mobster his old partner, Trey, stole from, he needed to breakout.

During the madness that followed….

…Alex made his move.

He wasn’t prepared for the outside.

Motivated to find Trey, get Vargas his money, and protect his daughter, he set out through the new world that was like something out of an apocalyptic movie.

All that stood in his way were roving gangs, looters, angry mobsters, and about 60-miles of insanity between him and Trey.

Could he fight his way through?
